About Caitlin

Hi, I’m Caitlin — the voice behind The Rooted Farmhouse. I live on a quiet 4-acre homestead where life moves a little slower, and that’s just the way I like it. After years of chasing trends, overspending, and feeling burnt out, I realized I wanted something different — a life rooted in simplicity, intention, and home. Now, I spend my days preserving the harvest, baking from scratch, and finding joy in the little things: a loaf of sourdough rising on the counter, chickens scratching in the yard, or a cozy pot simmering on the stove.

Here on the blog, I share practical ways to embrace simple living

Whether that’s learning how to can your own food, getting back to basics in the kitchen, or creating a home that feels meaningful, not magazine-perfect. I believe anyone can slow down, live well, and find contentment right where they are. My hope is that The Rooted Farmhouse feels like a breath of fresh air and a trusted resource as you create a life you truly love.

The beauty of simple living is that it brings us back to what truly matters…

FAQ

Start simple! Pick a niche you love, focus on sharing helpful, easy-to-follow recipes, and don’t worry about perfection. I started with just a basic WordPress site, a love for homemaking, and my camera in hand.

We live on a cozy 4-acre homestead — not a big farm, but just enough space for chickens, a couple horses, ducks, a garden, and plenty of room to roam.

I was tired of the constant pressure to do more, buy more, and be more. Slowing down and living with intention changed everything — less stress, more meaning.

Yes! We started homeschooling in grade 6 and haven’t looked back. It gives us the freedom to learn in a way that fits our life and values.

That’s a tough one — but probably peaches in honey syrup or any type of jam. I love the smell of the kitchen, and how preserving food keeps a bit of summer in the pantry all year.
